About this listen
The Pimsleur® Method: the easiest, fastest way to learn a new language. Completely portable, easily downloadable, and lots of fun. You’ll be speaking and understanding in no time flat! Each lesson of Swedish Phase 1, Units 1-5 provides 30 minutes of spoken language practice, with an introductory conversation, and new vocabulary and structures. Detailed instructions enable you to understand and participate in the conversation. Each lesson contains practice for vocabulary introduced in previous lessons. The emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension, and on learning to speak Swedish. This course teaches the rikssvenska (or Standard Swedish) dialect, spoken in and around the capital region of Stockholm. The first ten Units of Pimsleur's 30-Unit Swedish Comprehensive Program, replaces the Compact Swedish.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Excellent way to build your Swedish language skills
This system perfectly drip feeds the information so you are able to build a great foundation, without feeling like you are having to try at all hard. The pressure of learning is squarely on the 'teacher' and not you.
Similar to the Michel Thomas technique, just without the other students in the class (which I often find distracting anyway).
Highly recommended. Straight on to the next series of lessons.

Very good format for learning conversational Swedish
The Pimsleur technique is excellent for building up your conversational language. I knew nothing at the beginning but through repetition of each unit (usually 2-3 times) I’ve been able to memorise everything. It builds up your vocabulary and knowledge of word order to such an extent that you are able to use the same words differently to say different things. Your pronunciation is excellent as you are focussed on how you sound so you avoid speaking with your native accent. My one criticism is that learning with this technique doesn’t help you read or write the Swedish language. I’m moving on to the next unit however and will try other tools to help me learn the alphabet and different letter sounds later.

Not a bad course
Like any of the language courses, you get out what you put in, it's not easy but the course takes a slow easy learning approach. Follow the plan and you'll start to learn. The course tends to provide a sentence, and then breaks down all the words in the sentence, and the pronunciations for the words. As I mentioned in the title, not a bad course and I'd recommend it to help supplement Swedish learning.

Worth every penny!
Each unit is easy to understand and is great for listening to in the car. With each unit I can hear myself getting more and more confident in speaking and understanding what is being said. I am heading to Sweden next month and cannot wait to try talking in Swedish!

Good but brief
Good material. Well paced for a beginner but only five thirty minute lessons (and a thirty minute introduction).

It works!!!
This Pimsleur method WORKS - short 30 minutes bursts of lessons.
The lessons build and progress each time rather than just jump to new topics which really solidifies the knowledge.
Paul Noble audio language courses really compliment these Pimsleur courses.
You can do this completely on the move as there’s no book to follow along with nor do you need pen/paper or in fact anything - just listen and absorb and most of all ENJOY!
Go on - you won’t be disappointed.

Good
Good programme to start out. Focuses on speaking, understanding and forming basic sentences, but doesn't go over spelling or grammar.

Great clarity
Everything is really clearly set out so you are suddenly constructing sentences and with the rhythms of speech there for you to copy.
